Hi, my name is Charles Harnach and I am a Grammy nominated arranger, keyboardist and producer with over 35 years in the studio. I’ve been credited as a player or arranger on numerous projects including gospel artist Candi Staton, R&B legend Jo Jo Benson and Peggy Scott, the Grammy Award winning Blind Boys of Alabama and many others.

As a composer, I have created music for the Atlanta Summer Olympics, corporate clients including Sony, Samsung, Chevrolet, and hundreds of local and regional jingles for which I have won numerous Addy and Telly awards and a Clio, advertising most prestigious award. As an arranger, I have written charts ranging from pop horn section, to big band jazz, string quartet and full symphony orchestra.

Beyond all that, I love what I do!

You can hire me for a single track, produce a full session, or anything in between. Full track production is quoted on a per job basis, so contact me and we’ll talk about your project.

As a classically trained player, I have the background to deliver realistic sounding brass, strings and winds to bring any composition to life without it sounding synthetic. For orchestral sounds I use the East West Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Edition, Vienna Symphony, CineStrings, and NI Symphony Series and Session Strings.

Amazing work from Charles. He took one of my solo piano pieces and added orchestration around it. It was so beautiful that I teared up the first time I heard it. Will definitely be working with him again!

What a musical genius and absolutely wonderful congenial person to work with ........ I could not ask for more. However, I have lots of work for him to do so I really shouldn't be writing this so everyone else won't come along and make him too busy to work on my music! ;)

Working with Charles is such a pleasure. He is extremely patient and very intuitive once you give him some reference artist or song wise..... he nails it every time. His delivery is fast and easy to access.

I've come to expect excellent production from Charles and I am delighted with the results. I have used his services for seven tracks so far, for an upcoming CD. Charles is truly a professional with years of experience and his skill and sensitivity to the artist is evident.

Charles took the production of this song to a place that was perfect for the character of the song. I continue to be impressed and inspired by his talent. Very happy with his services and will continue to have him produce songs for me.

Charles has once again exceeded my expectations and delivered an amazing production of one of my original songs. He seems to have a tremendous ability to pay attention to both the musical details and the emotion of the song, which creates an extremely good result!

Aloha! This is the third track I've ordered from Charles and he continues to exceed my expectations! He has the wonderful ability to really get both the emotion and the musical arrangement that each song requires. Charles is a true professional and I'm beyond happy with the results!

This was my first experience using Charles, and I am 100% stoked.
I have scoured the internet looking for someone who produces quality work, and I have found him.
He understood the brief perfectly, and crafted a track that blew me away. Honestly.
And the turnaround time was exceptional.
Buy with confidence from Charles. This man is super talented at what he does.
I will be back again, and again, and again ...
Thanks again Charles.

I absolutely love the track Charles produced for my original song. His choices for the arrangement, instruments and mood stayed true to what I had pictured in my sonic mind, and actually exceeded my expectations. I would happily use his services again and highly recommend him. I am resending this to include the five stars.

Charles did a wonderful job on my song. His arrangement, music and production skills are are awesome. He will definitely be my choice on many other songs I have planned. By the way, great communication skills too.

Wow what an excellent job!!! Charles is incredible producer. His arrangements are impeccable. He's very professional and certainly understands his trade. He's very patient and will listen to understand your concerns. He gave his all on my project, and that's why I'm hooked. Great job!!!

Wow. I booked Charles to add some keyboard textures to a new song demo. I was vague about direction, so I just said "do what you feel is right" knowing that I could make a revision. No revision needed! Charles added really cool parts and lifted the production of my song to the next level! Great!!

Charles, thanks for the incredible job on the sequenced track. My client loves it and asked who 'was in the band.' The parts and sounds were spot on and I honestly couldn't tell this was a programmed track (and I've been a session player and producer for decades!). You have my business! GV
